  1. How much thinner is toxic to breath? I work not too often, maybe 2-3 hours a day. I work inside and with testors enamel thinner without mask. How long before I die? also I'm going to start using some acrylic thinner and some lacquer thinner soon. How dangerous is this stuff?
  2. Are modeling products from aliexpress safe or legit? I don't exactly know why aliexpress is so cheap, but I think it's because of china's low labor costs and sometimes slaves probably. But then doesn't that mean that the tamiya products aren't real tamiya products?
  3. How did you get the bmf so smooth around the windshield? Also when I burnish with qtips it gets hair in the paint and in crevasses
  4. How did you do that
  5. Is there any bmf that looks more like chrome? Mine seems just a bit not as shiny. And does the chrome marker actually look just like the chrome pieces?
  6. How do I do the finishes such as the chrome around the amber lights and under the fenders?
  7. + 5 dolla tax and they don't have the chrome metal sheets for logos on ebay
  8. It's not for sale...
  9. I don't have any decals for the dash, how can I do the odometers and stuff?
  10. How did you do that, are there tutorials anywhere for how to do that kind of interior detail? I'm working on a gt500 and I want it to look something like this:
  11. How do I even clean seamlines and flash? I'm not really ever successful
  12. Why does everyone start with a grey primer and then a white primer after that?
  13. This guy goes against a lot of things that I have heard. They clear coated and wet sanded and polished after the decals.
  14. Are those all decals on the odometers or is that a nice paint job?
  15. You don't get any yellowing from enamel clear coats?
  16. How do I sand and polish in areas that are like crevices and stuff
  17. How on earth are you so good
  18. Well despite everyone's suggestions and everything, I got a little bored on waiting for amazon's deliveries. I started to use the extreme lacquer gloss on a small body part that doesn't matter so much, it seems that it only starts looking bad after many small coats. I'm on my fourth very very minuscule coat, and it is only now having the bumps show up as described from my previous model. But this time it is also sort of glossy. Can I wet sand between clear coat coats?
  19. do you use the extreme lacquer that i showed?
  20. What should I thin it with, and what should be the tinner to paint ratio?
  21. Where do I find an acrylic gloss clear tamiya, every time I click a link it then says lacquer even thought it said acrylic just earlier.
  22. I was told that it would be fine to use if I let my enamel paint cure first, it's been a week so I think I'm good to go. Save me if I'm wrong
  23. mb guys I'm an idiot I forgot the photot
  24. I can't recall why I bought this, somehow it came across me as a gloss clear coat. Is this actually that? I used it on an enamel paint job and it came out kind of matte and bumpy. Also what is the best clear gloss coat for an enamel job, if this one isn't good.
  25. Is there a lacquer thinner, or can I just use enamel thinner?
